The Biggest Adventure Club
In General
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To the Steam Team from the original series, as they're a team who comprises of the main characters.
Thomas the Tank Engine
- Voiced by: Meesha Contreras (US, seasons 1-"Details? What Details?"), David Kohlsmith (US, late season 2B), Kai Harris (US, season 3-present) Aaron Barashi (UK)In other languages
- Character Catchphrase: Thomas does have a good amount of catchphrases, including "Here comes Thomas!", "All engines go!", "Aww, bolts!", "Rusty rail spikes!", and "Chugga-chugga whoo-hoo!"
- It's All About Me: While he is friendly and does care about the others around him, there are some points where he is stubborn or egotistical, such as in "Rules of the Game", where he was upset when his friends didn't have fun in the obstacle course his way, and in "Dragon Run" , where he refused to share his dragon cargo. He ends up realizing his mistakes at the last minute.
- Keet: Even moreso than the version from later seasons of the original show.
- Slasher Smile: His attempt at keeping a smile in "Blue Engine Blues" comes off as this.
- Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Compared to the books and even the original TV series, all Season 1 episodes feature him heavily, even ones revolving around another character. Downplayed somewhat in some Season 2 episodes such as "Fast Friends" and "Tri-and-a-Half-a-Lon".
- The Promise: Thomas has a habit of making "Thomas promises" when helping the other engines.
- Vocal Evolution: In the US/CA dub of the updated version of the app Thomas and Friends: Magic Tracks, Thomas' voice has deepened, most likely due to his voice actor hitting puberty, and it clearly shows
. This also applies to the second season. - You Don't Look Like You: He has a number of differences compared to his original design, including a completely flat running board, a scaled-down and separated bunker, and his whistles are farther apart rather than being side-by-side.
Percy the Small Engine
- Voiced by: Charlie Zeltzer (US), Henri Charles (UK)In other languages:
- Character Catchphrase: "Percy perfect!"
- Compressed Vice: In one episode, he suddenly develops a fear of climbing up high hills, despite being able to do so with almost no problems early on in this same continuity. He does retain a fear of heights in other episodes; however, those are for high mountains and areas in mines, where in that episode it was just simple hills in the grassy fields he seemed to have no trouble with before.
- Primal Fear: Retains his fear of the dark like in the original show.
- Shrinking Violet: Downplayed; Percy is occasionally nervous about seemingly intimidating topics, but once he gets the memo he returns to being his usual happy and friendly self.
Nia the Helpful Engine
- Voiced by: Talia Evans (US), Sade Smith (UK)In other languages
- Adorably Precocious Child: Nia is far and away the most mature of the core five, being able to plan her delivery routes much like Gordon would.
- Map King: She can plan her own routes, with the only obstacles being unforeseen circumstances.
- Nature Lover: She is very enthusiastic on the natural world.
- The Perfectionist: Downplayed, but Nia occasionally struggles with unforeseen obstacles to her original plans, with her reluctance to change her current plan or making a new one often being to her detriment.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's afraid of ghosts.
- Wise Beyond Their Years: She has valuable insight into places Thomas has never been, being from Kenya and all.
Kana the Speedy Engine
- Voiced by: Ava Ro (US), Chloe Raphael (UK) In other languages:
- Canon Foreigner: She was created specifically for the reboot.
- Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Averted. Kana may be a feminine shade of lilac but she is a hardcore tomboy who is more than willing to get messy.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Despite her extreme enjoyment of going fast, she's the first to tell Nia not to go too fast while pulling the huge fishtank in "Fast Friends". For an added Continuity Nod, she claims she learned it from when speed wasn't all it took to win the Sodor Cup.
- Shock and Awe: She's shown to have an aura of electricity around her, which she'll use to make faces and the like.
- Super-Speed: Kana is a very fast electric engine - as long as she is on a straight section of track.
Devious Diesel
- Voiced by: Shomoy James Mitchell (US, season 1), Will Bhaneja (US, season 2), Henry Harrison (UK)In other languages:
- Adaptational Heroism: Diesel was a scheming trickster in the original; here, he's become one of Thomas' friends with no grudge against steamies. While still retaining some occasional selfish or devious moments, he's treated more as a slightly naughty friend of Thomas rather than the show's recurring villain.
- Birds of a Feather: His mischievous personality means that he tends to get along with the Troublesome Trucks better than most.
- Broken Pedestal: He idolizes Farona and Frederico in the "Race for the Sodor Cup" movie, even hoping they'll win over Thomas and Kana. However, when they cheat by lowering the drawbridge, Diesel loses respect for them.
- Jerkass Has a Point: While he can certainly contend with Thomas in terms of selfish or over-competitive moments, he will sometimes call out when Thomas acts just as out-of-line. In "Dragon Run" for example, the others clearly agree with Diesel that Thomas is being possessive of his cargo after they helped him out, though add it's still not Diesel's or their's to take forcibly.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's still a bit of a standoffish brat, but generally gets along with the others besides some light arguments.
- Stout Strength: Is noted to be strong for his size.
- Token Evil Teammate: Heavily downplayed from before, but Diesel is still the most abrasive of the main group and the one most commonly butting heads with Thomas.
Carly the Crane
- Voiced in English by: Jenna Warren (US), Eva Mohamed (UK)In other languages:
A crane who works on Sodor performing maintenance duties.
- Adaptation Species Change: Well, vehicle change to be more accurate in her case. In the original show, Carly was a stationary crane who worked at Brendam Docks alongside Cranky. In this show however, she is a diesel engine with a large crane attached to her.
- Ascended Extra: Went from a minor character in the original series to a member of the main cast in the reboot.
- Wrench Wench: She and Sandy do the railway's repair work.
- You Don't Look Like You: The only recognizable parts of Carly's design are her main body resembling her original counterpart's wheelhouse and her crane arm, which has been significantly simplified.
Sandy the Rail Speeder
- Voiced in English by: Glee Dango (US), Holly Dixon (UK)In other languages:
A railway speeder who works with Carly.
- The Baby of the Bunch: She's the smallest of the main characters and acts like a younger child compared to the other child engines.
- Canon Foreigner: She was created specifically for the reboot.
- Every Device Is a Swiss-Army Knife: The amount of tools she can deploy is absolutely ridiculous.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Sandy is always tinkering, and always comes up with a new invention.
- Genki Girl: She gives Thomas a run for his money when it comes to enthusiasm.
- Pink Is Feminine: Averted. Sandy is painted bright pastel pink with yellow and teal as side colors, but she is a tomboy through and through, considering her penchant for being messy.
- Skewed Priorities: In "Sandy Vs. The Storm", she makes a big deal about people saying "thank you", ignoring the fact that there are more important problems to worry about.
- Token Mini-Moe: While the main engines are already amongst the smallest of the cast, Sandy is far shorter in length and height than even Percy, and is the smallest vehicle character of the series.
- Wrench Wench: She and Carly do the railway's repair work.
Bruno the Brake Car
- Voiced in English by: Chuck Smith (US), Elliott Garcia (UK)In other languages:
An autistic caboose who helps the engines with heavy deliveries.
- A Day in the Limelight: "Shake, Rattle & Bruno" is dedicated to him.
- Canon Foreigner: He was created specifically for the reboot.
- Clock King: He memorizes everyone's schedule each day, so he knows where and when every engine should be working.
- Creepy Monotone: Subverted. Bruno speaks in monotone with little emotional fluctuation, but the other engines seem to understand why and don't find him off-putting at all.
- Eyes Always Averted: He has difficulty maintaining eye contact and will usually be looking at his surroundings rather than whoever he is talking to.
- Hollywood Autism: Averted. Mattel developed Bruno with the help of autistic writers and organizations in the USA and Europe, including the Autism Self Advocacy Network and the UK’s National Autistic Society in order to make Bruno's portrayal as tasteful as possible.
- Ignored Expert: He tries to warn Diesel not to go through Crumble Canyon due it being dangerous, even if it's the fastest route to the lighthouse. And as he has every route and timetable memorized, he could've found a safer solution. Diesel ignores him, which leads to the two encountering a rock slide.
- Literal-Minded: When Thomas calls Diesel a steamroller, Bruno becomes confused and asserts that Diesel is a locomotive. Thomas then gently explains he meant that Diesel is like a steamroller.
- The Misophonic: He's highly sensitive to loud noises, and so produces ear defenders from his smokestack if things are too noisy.
- Nervous Tics: He tends to flap his stepladders when nervous or excited.
- Pungeon Master: He loves making railway-related puns.
- Spock Speak: He speaks very slowly, carefully, and literally, with the exception of when he's making puns.
Other Thomas & Friends Characters
Gordon the Big Engine
- Voiced in English by: Neil Crone (US), Will Harrison-Wallace (UK)In other languages:
- Adaptational Job Change:
- He now assigns the young engines their jobs for the day, something only Sir Topham Hatt originally ever did.
- He also has yet to be seen pulling his express coaches, and is much more content with goods deliveries than he was before.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Originally a pompous and prideful engine in the original show, the reboot alters him into a Reasonable Authority Figure whom the engines often turn to. As mentioned before, he is now quite happy to regularly pull goods trains, his Berserk Button in the original series.
- A Day in the Limelight: After usually appearing just for moral support or to assign deliveries (Sir Topham Hatt's job in the original series), he finally gets an episode to himself in "The Super Long Shortcut!"
- Character Catchphrase: "Well, this is a fine how do you do..." usually spoken after something terrible happens to him.
- The Stoic: Downplayed; while Gordon is just as expressive as the other characters, his voice rarely leaves its usual register, even when he's mad at someone. The only times he shows any significant vocal changes is when he gets really frantic and panicky.
- Team Dad: He takes on this role for the little engines.
- You Don't Look Like You: Has changed wheel arrangement from a 4-6-2 to a 2-6-2.
James the Red Engine
- Voiced by: Luke Marty (US, UK ("License to Deliver" to "Nia's Perfect Plan")), Tom Dussek (UK English, "Nia's Surprising Surprise" onward) In other languages:
- Adaptational Nice Guy: The earlier James was generally a vain and egotistical Jerk with a Heart of Gold, but he's a lot nicer here. He still has a bit of a Small Name, Big Ego thing going on, but he's pretty jovial and friendly about it.
- Large Ham: Outside of his pleasant behavior, James can be very loud and melodramatic.
- Nice Guy: James is friendlier here than in the original show, as he is seen greeting the other engines (mostly Thomas and Percy), he doesn't show off that much, and he rarely loses his cool.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Toned down compared to earlier incarnations, but it's still there. He's quick to brag about himself, calling himself "handsome and incredibly charming."
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He is afraid of dragons, as revealed in "Dragon Run."

- Dub Name Change: Like the original show, Clarabel's name was changed to Clarabella for the Latin American Spanish dub.
- Identical Twin ID Tag: In the original, their nameplates were how to tell them apart; they've lost them here, and the way to tell them apart is by their eye color (brown for Annie, grey for Clarabel). Clarabel's crests also have four wings, whereas Annie's only has two.

- You Don't Look Like You: He is a 6-6-0 this time around, as opposed to being a 4-4-0 like both his Railway Series and Original TV Series counterparts. He also appears to be bigger than Henry. Original Edward is far from the smallest engine, but James, Henry and Gordon are bigger than him.
Henry the Green Engine

Two antagonistic electric engines who compete in the Sodor Cup race.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: In the Let's Race! shorts, Farona and Frederico are written to be good guys instead of the closest thing to villains.

- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: They are portrayed that way in the Let's Race! shorts.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: In the "Bell Race" short, Frederico ended up getting jealous due to Farona competing against him, so he ends up playing rough during the tug-of-war game. He ends up regretting it and accepts losing due to his behavior.
- Sore Loser: The pair don't take derailing after a desperate attempt to win well at all, with Farona even crying about it.
- Those Two Guys: They are rarely shown apart, just like Riff and Jiff and Carly and Sandy.
- Unsportsmanlike Gloating: They never hesitate to rub their prowess into Kana's face, and demean her every chance they get.

- Ascended Extra: The two of them end up making plot-important appearances in the second season after their debut in the first feature-length special. This may be to equalize the new characters' screentime, as Farona and Frederico have the lion's share of it in the film.

-
You Look Familiar: She is basically Carly's original series design with a new face and a green paint job. - Younger Than They Look: Tess towers over most of the other characters and she doesn't look that youthful at first glance; you can only tell she's a child character because of her voice.
